Hannah Cornell, Ph.D. Email and Phone Number

• Achieved deep mastery of analytical techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry gained through routine small molecule structure determination •Optimized synthetic procedures for the preparation of novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and utilized thermal and spectroscopic analyses to assess their structural properties • Served as an instrument manager for thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and surface area instruments and aided in data collection and interpretation for colleagues • Acquired expertise in synthetic organic chemistry through multistep synthesis of azobenzene dyes and gained proficiency in analytical separation techniques, including recrystallization and column chromatography, for purifying desired compounds • Gained hands-on experience in a wide variety of organic reactions including diazotizations, nitrations, esterifications, and nucleophilic aromatic substitutions

General Chemistry II and Physical Chemistry I Lab (Spring/Fall 2018, Fall 2019)• Conducted labs focused on topics such as polymer viscosity and kinetics and presented pre-laboratory lectures which provided detailed background of concepts/calculations needed to perform experimentsAnalytical Chemistry & General Chemistry for Majors Recitation (Fall 2020, Spring 2021)• Planned lecture presentations and created practice problem sets for multiple recitation sections (in-person/virtual hybrid)• Prepared various science demos to reinforce scientific concepts from course material

• Worked as a tutor for the department’s walk-in tutoring sessions, which served undergraduate students enrolled in general chemistry and organic chemistry • Gained exposure to effective teaching techniques through weekly workshops and implemented these learning tools when interacting with students in tutoring sessions

• Responsible for providing both in-person and phone technical service support for faculty, staff, and students at the university • Selected to be a Team Lead, a leadership position for student workers, which involved training newly hired employees and serving as a liaison for newer workers on shift

• Selected for REU program which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and focused on the nexus of food, energy, and water systems• Conducted research on morphological differences in acetylated and unmodified wood samples through NMR relaxation studies
